Depends where you are, though I think you're referring to statutory rape, a popular bad guy charge in the film noir genre. Think of Max Cady in Cape Fear. Yipes! See Sex Laws link below, esp. the international table listing the age of *consent. Says it includes the age for each U.S. state. Site includes books, too. A very useful blog indeed. We've spent happy hours at Cornell Law School's excellent website, one of the recommended links.
Note: See also age of consent at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent, which explains the legal significance of the phrase.

Sabina has the correct answer. An underage girl is sometimes called " jail bait " or " San Quinton Quail ".

In most states sexual penetration is considered statutory rape. In Arkansas, it is just plain old RAPE.

Every state has a different set of laws. Every state defines sexual intercourse and sex acts differently.
I would suggest looking up "sex laws" and then your state name into any search engine.

rape....doesn't matter if she consents or not....because technically because she is underage her parents would have to consent.
